How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that a district court need not consider all six Moore factors and that the third, fifth, and sixth are secondary
• holding that if facts sur- rounding defendant's alleged defense are inadequate as a matter of law, counsel cannot be considered ineffective under Moore
• noting that it is not necessary for district court to consider all six Moore factors
• holding “that an intent to deceive is simply irrelevant to the defendant’s guilt” under section 1014
• noting that withdrawal of plea “almost invariably” results in judicial waste and prejudice to Government
• noting that the remaining Moore factors “are better understood as countervailing considerations that establish how heavily the [Rule 11] presumption [of finality of the guilty plea] should weigh in any given case.”
